13. So he said, “What are these cities you have given me, my brother?” And he called them the land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.
14. Hiram, however, had sent King Solomon one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15. This is an account of the conscript labor force King Solomon raised in order to build the house of the Lord, his own house, Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer
16. (Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had come up and taken Gezer and, after destroying it by fire and slaying all the Canaanites living in the city, had given it as a farewell gift to his daughter, Solomon’s wife;
17. Solomon then rebuilt Gezer), Lower Beth-horon,
18. Baalath, Tamar in the desert of Judah,
19. all his cities for supplies, cities for chariots and cities for cavalry, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in the entire land under his dominion.
20. All the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not Israelites—
21. those of their descendants who were left in the land and whom the Israelites had not been able to destroy under the ban—these Solomon conscripted as forced laborers, as they are to this day.
22. But Solomon made none of the Israelites forced laborers, for they were his fighting force, his ministers, commanders, adjutants, chariot officers, and cavalry.
23. There were five hundred fifty overseers answerable to Solomon’s governors for the work, directing the people engaged in the work.
24. As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter went up from the City of David to her house, which he had built for her, Solomon built Millo.
25. Three times a year Solomon used to offer burnt offerings and communion offerings on the altar which he had built to the Lord, and to burn incense before the Lord.Thus he completed the temple.
